In The revolution will not be theorized Errol A. Henderson explains this theoretical contribution and places it within a broader social theory of black revolution in the United States dating back to nineteenth-century black intellectuals. These include black nationalists, feminists, and anti-imperialists; activists and artists of the Harlem Renaissance; and early Cold War-era black revolutionists. The book first elaborates W.E.B. Du Bois's thesis of the "General Strike" during the Civil War, Alain Locke's thesis relating black culture to political and economic change, Harold Cruse's work on black cultural revolution, and Malcolm X's advocacy of black cultural and political revolution in the United States. Henderson then critically examines BPM revolutionists' theorizing regarding cultural and political revolution and the relationship between them in order to realize their revolutionary objectives. Focused more on importing theory from third world contexts that were dramatically different from the United States, BPM revolutionists largely ignored the theoretical template for black revolution most salient to their case, which undermined their ability to theorize a successful black revolution in the United States. 410 0$aAfrican-American studies. 517 $aRevolution Will Not Be Theorized 606 $aBlack power$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAfrican Americans$xPolitics and government$y20th century 606 $aAfrican American political activists$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aBlack power$xHistory 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xPolitics and government 615 0$aAfrican American political activists$xHistory 676 $a322.420973 700 $aHenderson$b Errol Anthony$01203260 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910688241403321 996 $aRevolution will not be theorized$93391025 997 $aUNINA
